FOREWORD 

The world presents more opportunities than ever before 
to those who are properly prepared to accept them. 
This preparation must usually be made during the period 
of childhood and youth. Young persons who permit the 
early years of life to pass without acquiring in a system- 
atic way the power to do effective work in some vocation 
and the culture and civic capacity necessary to the mak- 
ing of a useful citizen are to be pitied. Society is to be 
pitied because it must carry the weight of these imper- 
fectly developed individuals. 

Although the development of industry and commerce 
in recent years has enormously increased the range of 
opportunities open to all people, other conditions have 
arisen which make it increasingly difficult for youths to 
equip themselves for their work. Industry is highly spe- 
cialized, and each particular division of it makes its own 
peculiar demands on the individual both as regards 
physical, intellectual, and moral qualifications and in re- 
lation to special lines of training. In our large cities the 
means at the disposal of a youth or his parents for find- 
ing out the advantages of the occupation which is best 
suited to him, and then for discovering the conditions 
under which he can be best trained for it, are as yet 
pitifully meager. Everywhere we find parents eager to 
prepare their children for the responsibilities of life. 
Everywhere also we find boys and girls fast passing into 



VI FOREWORD 



manhood and womanhood looking anxiously for oppor- 
tunities to fit themselves to be of use in the world. For 
that small minority of our people who are destined ulti- 
mately to fill the higher professions, ample provision, 
both for the discovery of individual possibilities and for 
vocational training, has long been available. On the other 
hand, for those who are not to enter the professions, 
vocational schools designed to give specific training for 
occupations have only recently been opened; and even 
after the development of schools of this kind, it has re- 
mained difficult for the youth to learn where and how he 
could take advantage of the opportunities offered. 

The Women's Municipal League of Boston has ren- 
dered a valuable service in making available this admirable 
Handbook. It is a service which should elicit a hearty 
response, especially from parents and teachers ; but em- 
ployers and social workers will also find themselves inter- 
ested in its contents. The book appears at an opportune 
time, when vocational guidance and preparation for 
vocation are coming to be regarded as essential features 
of the conservation of the best of our resources — namely, 
childhood and youth.

PREFACE 

This Handbook had its origin in a plan made in Janu- 
ary, 1909, by the Education Department of the Women's 
Municipal League of Boston through its Committee on 
Opportunities for Vocational Training. The purpose of 
this Committee was to study the opportunities for voca- 
tional training in Boston, especially those offered in public 
and endowed schools, and to make the results of this study 
accessible to children, parents, teachers, employers, and 
others interested in the vocational guidance of youth. 
Vocational training may be defined as "any education the 
controlling purpose of which is to fit for profitable em- 
ployment."^ The Committee realized that many boys and 
girls have no knowledge of any opportunities to prepare 
for employment other than those in the program of aca- 
demic studies in the public schools. To help these children 
was the primary aim of the Committee, but in studying the 
subject carefully it was found important to include oppor- 
tunities for people of all ages who desire further vocational 
training. 

The original plan included : 

1. A map of the city showing the distribution of edu- 
cational agencies and resources. 

2. A study of the character and scope of these 
agencies. 



*75th Annual Report of the Massachusetts Board of Education, January, 1918, 
p. 251.

2 PREFACE 

3. A directory of these agencies, to be issued first 
in a "Series of Charts." 

4. Suggestions for the avoidance of overlapping of 
courses of instruction and for more effective co- 
operation. 

Portions of this plan have been completed, especially 
Parts 1, 2, and 3. The types of education were subdivided 
and files were made of information concerning schools of- 
fering training of a vocational character. This informa- 
tion was issued in a "Chart Series" as follows: 

1. Industrial Education. 
*2. Day Continuation Schools. 

5. Commercial Training in Public and Philanthropic 
Schools. 

4. Organized Opportunities for the Physically 
Handicapped. 

5. Opportunities in Settlements and Other Neigh- 
borhood Centers. 

6. Professional Schools. 

7. Art and Music Schools. 
*8. City-wide Agencies. 

The work of investigating the schools was done mainly 
by students from Harvard, Radcliffe, and Wellesley Col- 
leges, from the School for Social Workers, and from Bos- 
ton University.^ Each school was visited several times by 
the student to whom it had been assigned, and throughout 
the investigations the work of the students was held under

close supervision and carefully verified. All final reports 
were placed in the permanent files of the League. From 
the written reports of the students a tentative Chart was 
made and hung in the office of the Committee. The Chart 
as a whole was then examined by the heads of all the 
schools concerned and the information on it was subjected 
to their comparative scrutiny for the purpose of open 
criticism and correction. 

Each Chart was the result not only of personal visits to 
every school listed and of consultation with the heads of 
the schools, but of League Committee conferences with 
experts in each type of education. The standard for each 
type of school brought out by these conferences guaran- 
teed to the public a high standard in the list of schools 
published on the Charts. Wherever possible, the standards 
of local, state, and national organizations were accepted 
and only schools meeting such requirements were given 
recognition. 

The Committee now hopes to serve the public further by 
publishing in handbook form the facts found in the "Chart 
Series," together with other information of interest con- 
cerning vocational schools. The classification of types of 
education which was used in the Chart Series is not fol- 
lowed in the Handbook. Although no classification is en- 
tirely satisfactory, that which is used by France, Ger- 
many, Canada, and other countries, by the National 
Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education in the 
United States, and by the Massachusetts and other State 
Boards of Education, seems the best available and has 
therefore been adopted. While the allotted space has com- 
pelled brevity, great care has been taken to verify every 



PREFACE 



statement concerning the schools and to make the facts 
reliable to the date of publication. 

The success of the Committee on Opportunities for Vo- 
cational Training during the years of its pioneer work, 
1909—1912, was largely due to the untiring energy, inspir- 
ing leadership, and executive ability of its Chairman, 
Mrs. Bryant B. Glenny, and the Committee wishes to ac- 
knowledge its debt of gratitude for her whole-hearted 
service. It also wishes to express its appreciation of the 
cordial manner in which its inquiries have been answered 
by the schools to which application has been made for in- 
formation, and to thank the many individuals and organ- 
izations cooperating in this endeavor to further the move- 
ment for better vocational guidance of youth. 



INTRODUCTION 

The American people have begun to realize that far 
more important than the conservation of the forests or 
the water sites is the conservation of the youth of the 
country. Hitherto they have believed that their great 
public school system, with its general compulsory attend- 
ance to the age of fourteen, was a force strong enough 
to insure the conservation of youth ; now, however, they see 
that this force is not sufficient to prevent the enormous 
waste of youth that goes on between the ages of fourteen 
and twenty-one, the time when the largest number of 
crimes are committed in this country. 

At the age of fourteen, the state lets go its hold upon 
the great mass of its children. They go forth from the 
school, with little or no training for any vocation, into a 
world of merciless competition, at the time when they are 
most open to temptation and exploitation; the state suf- 
fers from the enormous waste that results. One reason 
that the state lets go its hold upon the greater part of 
its children at this age is because the American people 
have taken for granted, when a child enters the world 
of labor, that al] his days belong to his employer. Within 
the last few years, however, in one of the foremost nations 
of the world, this idea has been supplanted by a better 
one; in Germany it is now taken for granted, when a 
child enters the world of labor, that his days do not all 
belong to his employer, but that a part of them belong 

5 



INTRODUCTION 



to the state, in order that the state may continue its hold 
upon the child during the difficult years from fourteen 
to eighteen, and that it may continue his education, not 
only in the calling he has been helped to choose, but espe- 
cially in his duties as a citizen of the German empire. 

The schools which continue the education of children 
who have gone to work are called Continuation Schools ; 
a large number of them in Germany are compulsory, and 
many hold their sessions, not in the evening, when the child 
is tired with a day's work, but in the daytime, when his 
powers are most alive ; the child goes to them from seven 
to ten hours a week. The emploj^ers in Germany are will- 
ing to give up their young wage-earners to these schools, 
during a part of their working time, for the sake of the 
return they get in the increased efficiency of the workers ; 
the young wage-earners are ready to go to the schools for 
the sake of the increased pay which their heightened effi- 
ciency brings; and so great is the belief in continuation 
schools in Germany, that in Munich, where they originated, 
90 per cent, of the youth leaving the elementary schools 
in 1910 were apprenticed and in the continuation schools 
in September of the same year. If Germany, as well as 
other European nations, has been following this plan of 
education for years, with constant development of indus- 
trial and civic power, it seems well that the American 
people follow the same plan, with such modifications as 
will adapt it to their needs. Already the state of Wis- 
consin has provided day continuation schools, with com- 
pulsory attendance for five hours each week without loss 
of wages, for all apprentices and for children from four- 
teen to sixteen years of age who are in employments — 



INTRODUCTION 



those upon farms excepted ; and other states are prepar- 
ing to follow the example of Wisconsin. 

For children who do not have to leave school at the age 
of fourteen, there are public high schools, end owed schools, 
and private schools which give vocational training of high 
standard. 

The whole question of vocational training, whether 
given in these higher schools or in continuation schools, 
appeals not only to the educators of our country, but also 
to its business men and its manufacturers ; the Chambers 
of Commerce of our large cities are sending investigators 
to Germany to study the system of vocational training 
which has helped Germany outstrip other nations in many 
lines of manufactures and commerce. Associations of 
manufacturers and labor organizations in various parts 
of our country, as well as household art and science 
leagues, and associations for professional work, are sup- 
porting plans for vocational education. The American 
educator finds in these men new and valuable allies, who are 
strong to create a public opinion that will demand voca- 
tional training on a scale that will reach the greater part 
of the youth of the nation. For what is especially needed 
in our country is not so much schools for the officers of 
the great army of workers, since those are in some measure 
already supplied, as schools for the rank and file of the 
army. How great this need must be is shown by the fact 
that tens of thousands of both sexes are seeking to obtain 
vocational training through correspondence schools, and 
that they are willing to pay, as has been said, "consider- 
able sums to secure instruction through the unsatisfactory 
medium of the post office." 



INTRODUCTION 



Both public and private vocational schools show grow- 
ing range and flexibility in their courses. When a work- 
man, as a machinist or a blacksmith, who wants training 
in a certain process in his work, comes to an evening 
school to get it, if he can learn the process in three months, 
he comes three months ; if in three weeks, he comes three 
weeks ; and if in three nights, he comes three nights. If 
a worker wants one thing only, he is given instruction in 
that one thing. More than that, if the one thing he wants 
is not taught, he can ask for it, and if a few others want 
it also, the training is supplied. It is encouraging to hear, 
in a thriving manufacturing town, of thirty young women, 
between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, all stenog- 
raphers and clerks and all to be married in six months, 
asking for a course in homemaking and getting it. 
Equally encouraging is the fact that part of the examina- 
tion of a teacher for such a class tests her efficiency in 
teaching in six lessons the proper preparation of dinner- 
pail lunches. These are examples of the ability to adapt 
the training to the need, which is found in vocational 
schools ; they are also examples of the new ardor for in- 
struction which is aroused when the youth once learns, 
from his experience in the world, the disadvantage of 
ignorance. 

In order to increase the ability of the town to respond, 
in this ask-and-you-shall-receive spirit, to the requests of 
its citizens, the state in many cases is allowed to come to 
the help of the town; and to increase the ability of the 
state to give help, it has been proposed to allow the na- 
tional government to come to its assistance. Whether 
financial help be given the states by the national govern- 



INTRODUCTION 9 

ment or not, still, through further development of the 
work of the Department of Commerce and Labor, as well 
as of the Bureau of Education, the successful working out 
of new methods of vocational training in one part of the 
country can be made to serve other parts of the country 
where similar conditions require them ; and the national 
government will keep in vital relation to all vocational 
training. 

Already, throughout the country the new impetus to 
vocational training and vocational guidance is felt. Vo- 
cational counselors are appointed in the public schools to 
discover the vocational capacities of the pupils and to ad- 
vise them in regard to the calling they had better follow. 
Vocational courses are being introduced more and more 
into day and evening schools by towns and cities, while 
large endowments are made to found vocational schools 
which shall reach the humblest workers. Placement bu- 
reaus, which consider the fitness of the child and the fit- 
ness of the employment, have been started by associations 
interested in children's welfare; and the Placement Bu- 
reaus of London and Edinburgh are being studied on ac- 
count of their efficient work in placing children through 
the combined action of the School Board and the Board 
of Trade. 

Allied to the care by the state or city for the vocational 
training of youth is the new care by the city for the recre- 
ation of youth. The settlements have successfully pointed 
the way and the city is beginning to follow their lead in 
its establishment of school centers and in its extended use 
of school buildings. 

In following these stimulating lines of development, this 



10 INTRODUCTION 

point is to be remembered — vocational training is not to 
do away with cultural training ; all the cultural training 
a child can be given, he is to have; but, besides all that 
cultural training can give him to enlarge his view of life 
and to deepen his experience, vocational training is to be 
assured him in order that life may be decently supported. 
In the continuation schools of Germany, cultural training 
is insisted upon through the citizenship courses of govern- 
ment, political economy, and history. The youth is not 
trained to become a more and more complete machine, 
but to become a more efficient citizen, as well as a more 
efficient workman; and no education is worth the name 
which does not develop the child into a better son or 
daughter, a better parent, and a better citizen. 

Great problems in vocational training remain to be 
worked out ; it is yet to be seen how far the state can use 
private organizations, like factories and business houses, 
for the practical side of its training, and how far it will 
have to supply these practical conditions for work in the 
schools. It is yet to be discovered where the state can find 
vocational teachers thoroughly in touch with the industries 
they teach. It is yet to be decided whether men who super- 
vise the cultural schools can take the point of view neces- 
sary to supervise the vocational schools. These and many 
other problems remain to be solved and they can be solved 
only by experience ; but in spite of its problems, the move- 
ment for vocational training is a growing power in every 
civilized country. 

The American people have a great opportunity — that 
of working out a system of vocational training which 
shall give the state a new bulwark to check the waste of 



INTRODUCTION 11 

the youth of the country and a new power to secure its 
conservation. 

It is hoped that this Handbook will help the movement 
of vocational guidance by showing to workers of all ages, 
as well as to parents, teachers, employers, and vocational 
counselors, what opportunities already exist in Boston for 
good vocational training. It is also hoped that the method 
and types of classification used in the construction of this 
Handbook may be of service to the entire country.

PART II 

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION REGARDING 

SCHOOLS 



PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS 

The professional schools listed in this Handbook offer 
training in the fine and applied arts — such as representa- 
tive and decorative art, handicrafts, music, dancing, and 
speaking ; training in nursing, in teaching, and in various 
other lines of professional work. The inclusion of some 
of these schools under professional education is somewhat 
arbitrary. Until within recent years, few occupations 
have been rated as professions, but the advance of edu- 
cation has raised a number of vocations to a professional 
basis. 

Many courses in the professional schools mentioned here 
are offered not only for those who have been able to re- 
main in school continuously, but also for young men and 
women who have been unable in early life to continue their 
education and who desire later to pursue some special line 
of study to fit themselves for a chosen profession. These 
schools have a wide range of courses of study and of re- 
quirements for admission, so that any earnest student may 
find opportunity for higher education along these lines. 

Information has not been given concerning schools which 
require a Bachelor's degree for entrance nor concerning 
undergraduate courses in the regular colleges. Young men 
and women seeking these opportunities readily secure this 
information from the colleges. 

Many of the schools listed here offer training which may 
be taken either with a vocational purpose, for the sake 
of a pleasurable leisure, or for general training, but 
their purpose is so frequently vocational that they should 
be included in a list of vocational schools.

B. TRAINING SCHOOLS FOR NURSES' 

1. Training Schools for Nurses Connected 
WITH Large General Hospitals 

Training School for Nurses of the Boston City Hospital 

818 Harrison Avenue 

"The trustees of the Boston City Hospital in 1878 
established a Training School for Nurses, the fourth or- 
ganized in the United States, in order to give to women 
desirous of becoming professional nurses a systematic 
course of training and practice." (48th Annual Report 
of the Trustees of Boston City Hospital, p. 176.) 

Courses: Regular subjects — Theory and ethics of 
nursing; principles and practice of nurs- 
ing, both medical and surgical ; obstet- 
rics ; pediatrics ; contagious diseases ; 
elementary anatomy, physiology, materia 
medica, bacteriology, and laboratory work. 

' The fundamental qualifications of a good nurse are physical fitness, mental 
aptitude, strength of purpose, keen observation, sympathy, tact, and a stimulating 
optimism. The person possessing these qualities is endowed by nature to profit 
by the opportunities otfered in well-equipped training schools. 

" Whether acquired in high school or a school of college rank, the educational 
preparation for entrance to a training school for nurses should include courses in 
English, Latin, elementary anatomy, physiology, hygiene, chemistry, and bacteri- 
ology ; and a knowledge of psychology, physics, and such foreign languages as are 
used in the section where the training school is located would be desirable. Super- 
intendents of hospitals, training schools, and leaders in the nursing profession will 
be selected more and more from those who have had a normal school or college 
education." (Frederic O. Washburn, Resident Physician, and Miss Sara E. Par- 
sons, R. N., Superintendent of Nurses, Massachusetts General Hospital.) 

Graduates of all of the training schools listed here, with the exception of 
the Boston Lying-in Hospital, are eligible for membership in the Massachusetts 
State Nurses' Association; Headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. 

The standard maintained by the schools listed here is such as to encourage 
graduates not only to become good individual nurses, but to join state and national

Admission: 21 to S5 years of age; health certificate

organizations and help raise the status of the profession. State registration of 
nurses is important because it helps to standardize their position as nurses in the 
state in which they have received training, and enables them to register in other 
states offering reciprocity without a second examination. 

A National Committee on Red Cross Nursing Service has been created and 
"made responsible for the establishment of a uniform standard of qualifications to 
govern the enrollment of nurses " for government service. Applicants for training 
in nursing schools may wish to include, with graduation, eligibility for service in 
the American Red Cross Society, the Army Nursing Corps, the Navy Nursing Corps, 
and the Hospital Corps. Some of the schools listed in this Handbook are of such 
rank as to prepare for these requirements. As the regulations controlling eligibility 
for this government service change from time to time, it is well in selecting a. 
school to ascertain these regulations and take them into consideration. Necessary 
information can be obtained from the National Committee on Red Cross Nursing 
Service, War Department, Washington, D. C.

COMMERCIAL SCHOOLS 

Public recognition of the need of commercial schools has 
caused their gradual establishment throughout the United 
States. In general, two types of commercial instruction 
have arisen: the intensive short course, varying in length 
from a few months to one or two years, and the longer 
course of four years, which prepares for an all-round com- 
mercial life by offering work both in general subjects and 
in the specific subject, commerce. The endowed and pri- 
vate schools for the most part offer intensive short 
courses, while the public high schools offer intensive short 
courses in some schools and the longer courses for all- 
round commercial education in special schools. Business 
men are demanding that all these types of schools make 
efficiency the keynote of their work. What the young peo- 
ple want most of all is not free tuition, but the chance to 
become efficient workers. The employers demand accurate 
bookkeepers and efficient secretaries ; the students have the 
right to insist upon proper training; the schools must 
protect themselves by requiring a proper previous prep- 
aration on the part of their students and sufficient time in 
which to train to a high standard. The only proof that 
any commercial school can have for its right to existence 
is the efficiency of its product. 

The schools listed in this Handbook are among the best 
in the city. The Committee will be pleased to place on 
file in their office the names of other schools of equally

good standard. The cooperation of the Boston Chamber 
of Commerce and of experts in commercial education has 
aided in determining whether or not the standard of the 
schools listed was sufficiently high to warrant their being 
mentioned.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS 

Nine-tenths of the American youth take up, rightly or 
wrongly, industrial careers. Many of the misfits in in- 
dustry are the result of a lack of vocational direction and 
industrial training. The child goes out into the world 
almost empty-handed, knowing only that he must earn his 
living. His public school education will be of value to him, 
but he lacks the practical knowledge of any industry. 
He has not had access to training that will allow him 
proper entrance into an industry and does not even know 
that such training can be secured. 

The National Society for the Promotion of Industrial 
Education says, "It is equally to the interest of the work- 
ingman, of the manufacturer, of the teacher, of the citi- 
zen, that the boys and girls may find an open door to 
opportunity by which they may fit themselves to be effec- 
tive men and women in the industrial life of our nation." 

The schools mentioned in this Handbook offer such op- 
portunities for industrial training. While all the schools 
which are mentioned here may be classed as industrial 
schools, they are not all vocational; the list includes pre- 
vocational, manual training, trade, technical, and other 
improvement schools. Corporation^ and apprenticeship^ 
schools and industrial homes have been omitted, not for 
the reason that they are not valuable, but because the 
opportunities in them are not open to the general public. 



* Chickering & Sons, Department of Piano Tuning, excepted. 
'^The School of Printing, North End Union, excepted.

180 OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING 

Industrial education merely offers a favorable entrance 
into the industries ; to get the best results, the student 
must supplement such education by actual experience as 
a wage-earner ; the success of industrial education depends 
upon the cooperation of the school and leaders in in- 
dustry.

Boston Industrial School for Boys 

Brimmer School 

Common Street, near Washington Street 

This school is intended for boys who desire training 
that will prepare them for industrial work. Pupils will 
be offered an opportunity to learn the elements of a de- 
sirable wage-earning occupation and to continue their 
training along lines that will broaden their conceptions 
of industrial opportunity. The technical and academic 
work, while shaped to conform to the needs of the trade 
activities, is sufficiently broad to give a cultural basis for 
intelligent citizenship.

an industrial career and to offer definite opportunity for 
vocational guidance therein; to point to the Boston In- 
dustrial School or the Mechanic Arts High School after

the street or some blind alley vocation; and to afford 
some definite preparation for boys who do finally go to 
work at 14.

SCHOOLS FOR TRAINING IN THE 
HOUSEHOLD ARTS 

The aim of the schools of household arts is to teach 
girls and women to be homemakers. The female popula- 
tion of the United States is now over forty-four millions ; 
the important vocation of homemaker claims nearly three 
quarters of the women of the country, the remaining quar- 
ter being engaged in various gainful occupations. The 
great majority of these homemakers take care of their 
homes without any assistance, except what they may re- 
ceive from the family, for it is estimated from the census 
returns that only 7 per cent, of the people of our country 
keep even one domestic servant and only S per cent, keep 
more than one. 

The United States, in common with European countries, 
has begun to see the importance to the state of having these 
millions of homemakers efficiently trained for their work, 
so that the members of their households may become bet- 
ter citizens by being properly fed, clothed, and instructed. 
To this end, towns and cities have established schools and 
classes for training in the household arts, where women are 
taught to be homemakers. 

The demand for training in homemaking is growing 
throughout the country and in several states, Massachu- 
setts included, state aid is given to towns and cities to 
maintain schools for such training. Many of these schools

devote from 80 to 90 per cent, of the time to direct train- 
ing in homemaking; this training includes courses in 
buying, cooking, and serving food; in dressmaking and 
millinery; in care of children, home nursing, and infant 
feeding; and in household accounts and planning the ex- 
penditure of the household income. The remaining 10 to 
20 per cent, of the school time is given to related subjects, 
which include hygiene and sanitation; special aspects of 
law for both sexes ; laws which protect women as wage- 
earners and as wives ; economics, from the point of view 
of women as consumers of food, clothes, and rent ; and his- 
tory and civil government, first, of the town, second, of 
the state, and finally, of the nation. 

Besides full-time schools of homemaking, there are even- 
ing classes and part-time day schools in which homemak- 
ing is taught. Employers allow girls to go to these part- 
time schools without loss of pay, because the girls become 
more efficient in their wage-earning occupations through 
their training in homemaking. Small classes, about fifteen 
pupils to a teacher, are insisted on in these schools ; effi- 
ciency, not numbers, is the test; and the pupils are grad- 
uated on a basis of accomplishment, not of time spent in 
the school. Besides these public schools which teach home- 
making, private schools have been established for the same 
purpose with most satisfactory results. 

For the past generation, the wage-earning woman has 
rightly attracted much attention on account of the ability 
she has shown in the many new occupations that have been 
opened to her and the opening of these occupations is a sig- 
nificant economic movement. It must be remembered, how- 
ever, that three quarters of the women are not wage-earn- 



HOUSEHOLD ARTS SCHOOLS 231 

ers but homemakers, that they have equal ability, and that 
it is equally important to the state to have that ability 
trained to its most efficient use. It is for this reason that 
the state has begun to give to its women the training in 
homemaking as well as the training for breadwinning.

PART III 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 



ORGANIZED OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAINING 

FOR THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED 

IN MASSACHUSETTS 

The aim of the present training of blind, deaf, or crip- 
pled children is to develop them as far as possible as nor- 
mal children are developed. Physically, they are trained 
by the same outdoor games and sports ; mentally, by the 
same standards as those for normal children, though the 
way to reach those standards is, for them, somewhat 
longer ; and vocationally, although the lines of work which 
they can enter are fewer, they are trained for doing defi- 
nite work which has a market value. In short, the atti- 
tude towards handicapped children is no longer that of pity 
and resigned acceptance of their dependence, but of active 
sympathy which seeks to train them to robust and confi- 
dent independence and to ultimate self-support. 

To any one who has seen crippled boys, who are getting 
this training at school, abandon themselves to the joy of 
playing baseball, even so far as to fling themselves, 
crutches and all, to the ground to reach a base, this atti- 
tude toward their future does not seem unwarranted ; and 
it is confirmed by the fact that the baseball nine of cripples 
at one of these schools won 66 per cent, of all the matches 
it played with normal boys during a recent season. 

The younger the child when this attitude is taken toward 
it, the better it is for his future. For this reason, all who 
know handicapped children are urged, first, to see that 

245 



246 OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING 

they are taken as soon as possible to competent doctors 
to get the most expert advice about what should be done 
for them; and second, to see that this advice is followed 
and the children placed in those schools or nurseries where 
it is possible to follow it. The schools and nurseries for 
the handicapped given in this book show the opportunities 
in Massachusetts for an early start in the right direction, 
the results of which will be invaluable in all later training ; 
for example, a cripple with but one hand can be taught 
in one of these schools to be an excellent stenographer or 
house painter ; a blind boy can be taught to be an expert 
piano tuner; a deaf girl can be taught to be a competent 
milliner or dressmaker ; and it is not infrequently the case 
that one of these well-trained handicapped children be- 
comes in later years the main support of the family. 

The public is beginning to realize that there is a place 
in the work of the world for well-trained boys and girls 
who are handicapped, and the cooperation of all employ- 
ers of labor is asked for in extending opportunities to 
such well-trained children, that they may be self-support- 
ing, useful citizens, with a courageous, normal attitude 
toward life.

Boston Nursery for Blind Babies 

(Private Home and Hospital for Boys and Girls) 

147 South Huntington Avenue and

The purpose is to provide a home and hospital care for 
infants wholly or partially blind; to supply by training 
the education that the physically normal child acquires by 
imitation. 

Admission: Any blind or partially blind child under 5 
years of age. 

Expense: Admission may be free; when able to pay, 
the expense is adjusted to financial condi- 
tion of parents or guardian; expense is

^Besides the schools listed here, the King's Chapel Committee for the Handi- 
capped endeavors to assist those who are physically handicapped. The purpose of 
this Committee is to consider the individual needs of each case, to advise, and to 
secure employment of some kind as often as possible. This Committee considers 
the cases of those vi'ho are physically handicapped but mentally normal, i.e., crip- 
ples, deaf persons, and those suffering from defective eyesight and heart disease. 

'The cause of blindness in a great number of cases is due to ophthalmia neona- 
torum, resulting from lack of proper care of the eyes at time of birth. The Massa- 
chusetts law relating to ophthalmia neonatorum is in part as follows: Acts of 1905,

* A special class for the instruction of those children whose sight is too imper- 
fect to allow them to perform the work of the regular classes, although their con- 
dition is not sufficiently serious to necessitate their becoming pupils of a school for 
the blind, has recently been opened in connection with the Public Schools of Baston. 
In this class much attention is given to motor training, and all the work is con- 
ducted along such lines that the amount of eyestrain may be reduced to a mini- 
mum. This class is held at the present time (April, 1913) in the Old Thornton 
Street School, Roxbury.

rug weaving, mop making, broom mak- 
ing, chair seating; Cambridge (for 
women) : art fabric weaving, cane-seat-

250 OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING 

shop industries are sold through the Sales- 
room at 3 Park Street, Boston; manufac- 
tured products (mops, rugs, and brooms) 
are disposed of in regular commercial 
channels, through the Commission's dis- 
tributing agents ; shops, especially for 
renovating trades (chairs, mattresses), are 
dependent on local patronage; the Com- 
mission may, at its discretion, make loans 
of tools, materials, or other equipment 
necessary for the chosen trade or business, 
either to be returned or to be paid for on 
easy terms. 
Admission: Able-bodied blind persons, residents of Mass- 
achusetts, needing industrial training and 
employment. 
The Commission requires of its apprentices : 
first, that they shall take up apprentice- 
ship with the distinct hope and determina- 
tion of making practical and effective use 
of the trade after its mastery; second, 
that they shall give their best energy to the 
mastering of the chosen trade ; third, that 
they shall persevere until the trade has 
been learned, and shall in no case withdraw 
without due cause and after consultation 
with the proper authorities ; on the other 
hand, the Commission reserves the right to 
dismiss any apprentice for sufficient rea- 
son; fourth, that they shall conform to 
reasonable and customary regulations 



PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED BLIND 251 

while under instruction, both in and out of 
shop hours. 
Expense: Instruction is given without charge to citi- 
zens of Massachusetts who are qualified 
for the work and approved by the Com- 
mission. It is expected that living or 
traveling expenses during apprenticeship 
will be borne by the apprentices or their 
friends. When necessary, however, the 
Commission may, by vote in each case, 
make industrial aid appropriations to be 
applied thereto. Workmen are paid piece 
work wages. 

Season: Shops are in operation throughout the year, 

but limits of capital make some industries 
subject to seasonal shutdown or short 
time, according to fluctuations of trade. 

Placements: The Commission is able in some cases, if the 
apprentices desire it, to give them employ- 
ment in its own workshops. In other cases 
in which it feels confidence and has oppor- 
tunity to do so, it will make efforts to se- 
cure similar work with other employers, or 
to assist in establishing the apprentices in 
carrying on their trades as home indus- 
tries.

OPPORTUNITIES IN SETTLEMENTS AND 
OTHER SOCIAL CENTERS 

1. Settlements 

Many social and industrial problems arise from mod- 
ern conditions of life in great cities. The settlement af- 
fords a field for experimental work that will aid in the 
solution of these problems. It is not, however, an educa- 
tional institution where specific training for the vocations 
is given. The club or the class in the settlement (1) offers 
to the child a place in which to find himself vocationally 
and (2) affords the social worker an opportunity to study 
the child and to give him direction. It is for these reasons 
that settlement activities are included in this Handbook. 

Largely because each neighborhood has its own local 
problems, the aims of the settlement are varied, e. g.: 

To rehabilitate neighborhood life. 

To arouse the neighborhood to an appreciation of 
local needs and to promote cooperation for civic 
good. 

To supplement the work of the public schools by estab- 
lishing educational and recreational opportunities 
for young and old. 

To supplement the work of the courts and of health 
agencies. 

To stimulate vocational and social consciousness and 
ambition. 

To foster and sustain the home under tenement condi- 
tions. 

267 



268 OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING 

The educational work offered in settlements may be 
divided into two classes : 

1. Recreational education 

(a) Winter season 
(6) Summer season 

2. Supplementary education 

The recreational education for the winter season con- 
sists of such activities as concerts, lectures, story telling, 
dramatics, dancing, including folk, social, aesthetic, and 
fancy, intersettlement contests. Boy Scouts, gymnastics, 
and clubs for both sexes and all ages. The clubs are of 
various kinds, as social, debating, literary, civic, choral, 
orchestral, modeling, scrapbook, bead work, painting, 
garden, athletic, caddy, and outing. 

The recreational education for the summer consists of 
such activities as gardening, flower distribution, manage- 
ment of playgrounds, and outings both for the day and for 
longer periods at vacation houses or summer camps. 

Supplementary education is offered to meet the demand 
in the neighborhood and usually consists of classes in 
such subjects as cooking, housekeeping, sewing, dressmak- 
ing, knitting, embroidery, millinery, home nursing, laun- 
dry work, lace making, basketry, weaving, clay modeling, 
cane-seating, drawing, painting, brass and silver work, 
carpentry, printing, pottery, English for foreigners, mu- 
sic, leather work, hygiene, parliamentary law, and kinder- 
garten work. A library and reading room usually are 
maintained for the children of the neighborhood. 

The settlement maintains close relations with the pub- 
lic schools of the neighborhood and frequently furnishes 



SETTLEMENTS AND OTHER SOCIAL CENTERS 269 

workers who act as school visitors or vocational counselors 
or who aid in the management of the stamp savings agency 
in various schools. In a similar manner it maintains co- 
operation with the courts through probation work and 
free legal advice to neighbors ; also in Boston with health 
agencies by acting as a call station for the Boston Dis- 
pensary, the Instructive District Nursing Association, 
and the Milk and Baby Hygiene Association. 

The settlement undertakes constructive work in the 
district, which the neighbors are able to take over and 
carry on by themselves after a period of direction. Such 
work includes agitation for clean milk, markets, streets, 
and alleys, better local housing and factory conditions, ex- 
tension of stamp saving in the homes and factories, the 
organization of improvement associations, and other 
equally helpful social and civic projects. 

Many of the settlement's activities are subsidized, but 
it is not an institution which offers charity. Each mem- 
ber of a class or club pays some fee for his instruction 
or entertainment. These fees vary in different settlements 
and in different clubs and classes from one to ten cents 
a week. Vacation house and summer camp fees range from 
$2 to $7 a week. 

The settlement continues its activities all the year, the 
winter season usually extending from October to the end 
of May and the summer season from June to September.

2. School Centers 

An experiment in the use of school buildings as centers 
for neighborhood evening activities, begun in 1911 by the 
Women's Municipal League, is now being developed by 
the public school authorities. ' The school center aims to 
give further preparation for and expression of the social, 
industrial, and civic life of young men and young women ; 
also to unify neighborhood interests. 

The educational work of the center is similar in some 
of its aspects to that of the settlement. Admission is 
given only to young men and women, 14 years of age or 
over, who are not attending day schools. The work is or- 
ganized on the "club" basis and the members of each club 



•Members or associate members of the Boston Social Union, a cooperative 
federation of settlements, which was organized to secure the results of concerted 
action among settlements ; to eliminate overlapping and cross-purposes ; to make 
systematic comparison of processes ; to provide special forms of expert service ; 
and to bring about interneighborhood organization of sport and entertainment.

3. City-wide Agencies 

Other institutions, some of whose work is similar to that 
of the settlement, offer social and class work to working 
young people and make a studied effort to give training 
that will supplement that of various schools and social 
centers and offer the student an opportunity to satisfy 
his educational ambition. These institutions are designed 
to meet the needs of people from various parts of the 
entire city and include: 

1. Boston Young Men's Christian Association, 
312 Huntington Avenue. 

2. Boston Young Men's Christian Union, 48 Boyl-

PLACEMENT BUREAU 

Roxbury High School Annex 
2 Dunreath Street, Roxbury 

The Placement Bureau cooperates with the public

obliged to go to work. It deals, therefore, chiefly with 
young people between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, 
referred to it by the Vocational Counselors and other 
school officials, although it assists other agencies when 
possible. 

It is not an employment bureau merely, its chief object 
being to fit worker and work so intelligently that the re- 
lationship shall be permanent as far as is compatible with 
advancement. For this reason it fits slowly and only after 
a thorough knowledge of the home, the child, and the work. 
It also follows up all children placed and endeavors to 
direct them not only to the proper evening school, but to 
the nearest and most natural recreational center. 

So far the work of the Bureau has been limited to Rox- 
bury, but a central bureau for the whole city is under con- 
sideration and is being gradually developed. 

No charge is made either to the employer or to the 
employee.
